SAMS 8th National Symposium - Navigating New Frontiers: Ethics & Advocacy in Modern Medicine
Orlando, FL US
February 15, 2025 to February 16, 2025
Currently, one of the pressing challenges in navigating new frontiers in ethics and advocacy within modern medicine is the lack of standardized education and training programs. This deficit leaves healthcare professionals without the essential knowledge and skills needed to address complex ethical dilemmas effectively, especially in post-conflict settings where the rebuilding of world-class healthcare systems is critical. For example, applying blockchain principles and innovative approaches to medical education can significantly improve healthcare delivery and the quality of care.
To achieve ideal performance in this domain, healthcare must emphasize interdisciplinary collaboration, patient-centered care, and ongoing education on advancements. Healthcare professionals should effectively navigate the competing demands of their roles, prioritize their time wisely, and cultivate emotional resilience and strong team dynamics. Additionally, redefined value-based care metrics should be tracked and measured to reflect meaningful outcomes in healthcare delivery. The integration of artificial intelligence presents new ethical considerations, necessitating the establishment of robust ethical frameworks to ensure the safe and equitable adoption of AI in the medical field.
Join SAMS for the 8th National Symposium to explore these critical aspects and contribute to the future of medical ethics and advocacy. This event aims to bring together medical professionals, researchers, and thought leaders from across the nation for three days of cutting-edge presentations, interactive hands-on workshops, and invaluable networking opportunities. Participants will engage in discussions on the latest advancements in medical science and the crucial role of ethics and advocacy in modern healthcare.
